| Item | # 0002073173 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Mauritia arabica asiatica f. gibba - BEST OF THE BEST !!!!!!! , Coen, 1949 |
| Size | 76 mm |
| Locality | Laem Namtok, Gulf of Thailand |
| Note | HUMONGOUS HUMPEDBACK.....BEST OF THE BEST......Amongst the most impressive of all cypraea, this whopper is in a league all of its own. The specimen oozes the revered ‘gibba’ features looked-for by collectors – a wide round swollen shape – corpulent callus – grand pattern & colour range – black spotting above both margins – flap-like terminals – full maturity – weight, like a brick – super-thick base. Gerontic is a word thrown around loosely but with this object of art right on the money. A sumptuous 'gibba' indeed (please ask for images to truly appreciate the attributes). Almost impossible to find one in this gem condition. A never-to-be-repeated opportunity to own the very best for your collection, from the very best of my collection. Grade: Gem/Gem-. Provenance: from my own collection. Collected Koh Tao, Laem Namtok, Gulf of Thailand. Dived at 2-4m depth, deep in large rock crevices and under ledges. |
